Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 561/47,726/516
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 561,726
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 561,726 is 33 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,516 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,516 is 24252 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 561,726
3 | 561, 726 |
11 | 187, 242 |
17, 22 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 11 = 33

1,3,11,17,33,51,187,561
Factors of 726
List of positive integer factors of 726 that divides 726 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66,121,242,363,726
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 561,726 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 561,726 is 33.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,516
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 33/24252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 561/47,726/516 is 33/24252
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 47,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,516) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,516) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,516) = ( 47 × 516 ) / 1
LCM(47,516) = 24252 / 1
LCM(47,516) = 24252
